MSE PRO High Nickel NCA Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide Cathode Powder 500g, LiNi_0.88Co_0.09Al_0.03O₂

High Nickel NCA Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide, LiNi_0.88Co_0.09Al_0.03O₂ (NCA) Powder, 500g, 12um D50, Cathode Material

Lithium ion batteries made with NCA cathode have higher capacity and power than those with cathodes based on LCO cathode. One of the trending NCA R&D is to reduce the use of expensive cobalt. This high nickel NCA cathode power material has a low Co content (LiNi_0.88Co_0.09Al_0.03O₂) and can deliver a high capacity of 205 mAh/g at 0.1 C between 3.0 and 4.3 V.
